The love of the road
inspires some remarkably intense relationships.

Transmission.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
7-speed PDK, fit ted as standard in the
Macan models and featuring both a
manual and an automatic mode, offers
extremely fast gear changes with no
interruption in the flow of power – as well
as excellent driving dynamics and a high
degree of efficiency.
The principle of PDK is that, whenever a
particular gear is engaged, the next gear
is already preselected. As a result, gear
changes take place within milliseconds.
Automatic mode is optimised for fuel
economy. This means that PDK is able to
offer not only a sport y, agile driving feel,
but also increased efficiency. Would you rather change gear manually?

You can do this using the t wo gearshift
paddles on the multifunction sports
steering wheel, fit ted as standard, or
using the PDK gear selector.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, the shift times of PDK
become even shorter, the gear changes
even sportier. Additional gearshift
strategies are also available – for
uncompromising driving pleasure.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM).
The tremendous dynamic performance
of the Macan is thanks in part to the
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
active all-wheel drive system. It comprises an electronic and map-controlled

multi-plate clutch, the automatic brake
differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation
(ASR). The electronically controlled multi-
plate clutch regulates the distribution of
drive force bet ween the rear axle and
the front axle. Driving conditions are
constantly monitored to enable a precise
and lightning-quick response to a variet y
of situations.
Sensors continuously check, among
other variables, the rotation speeds of all
four wheels, the longitudinal and lateral
acceleration of the vehicle, and the
steering angle. If, for example, the rear
wheels threaten to spin under
acceleration, a greater proportion of drive force is distributed to the front by a
more powerful engagement of the multi-
plate clutch. In addition, ASR reduces
wheel slip. In corners, the drive force
sent to the front wheels is regulated for
optimum lateral stability.
In short, PTM transfers the incredible
sportiness of the Macan to the road.
Behind the wheel, you can feel what it ’s
like to be driving a genuine sports car:
traction, driving safety, outstanding
steering behaviour, superior handling
and, of course, the excellent dynamics
t ypical of any Porsche.

Porsche Communication Management
(PCM).
PCM is your central information and
communication system. It is powerful and
multifunctional, yet easy to operate.
The focal point is the 7-inch colour
touchscreen. The radio features
42 memory presets and an FM t win
tuner. The optional universal audio
interface allows you to save up to 5,000
MP3 files on the 40 GB internal hard
drive of PCM for direct playback. Also
available as an option are a T V tuner for
receiving free-to-air television broadcasts
and a digital radio enabling you to listen
to digital radio stations. The CD/ DVD
drive supports the following formats:
CDs, MP3 files and audio DVDs.
Integrated into PCM, the optional CD/ DVD
autochanger holds up to six CDs or
DVDs. The navigation module with high-speed
hard drive displays maps in 2D or from a
driving perspective. Even 3D rendering is
available in some regions. The route
guidance calculation takes into
consideration official traffic messages
(TMC) and data from traffic flow sensors
(TMC Pro)
1). In addition, speed limits
stored in the navigation database are
displayed in PCM and on the TFT screen
of the instrument cluster. In conjunction
with optional online services, it is
possible to find online destinations and
conveniently transfer them to the
navigation system.
Standard in the Macan Turbo. Optional for
all other Macan models.
Telephone module.
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. With a SIM card inserted
directly into PCM’s integral SIM card
reader, calls can be made using the
hands-free facility. For even more
convenience, the Bluetooth
® capability of
a mobile phone can be used to make
calls via the SIM Access Profile (SAP).
Once the Bluetooth
® connection has
been established, the mobile phone’s
aerial is switched off to conserve bat tery
charge and the phone operates via the
car aerial. Depending on the mobile
phone model, this gives access not only
to the numbers on the SIM card, but also
to the phone’s internal memory.
Depending on the phone, it can also be
controlled using PCM, the multifunction
sports steering wheel or the voice
control system.

The telephone module enables you to
establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP).
On request, a Bluetooth
® handset for the
telephone module is also available.
Stored in the centre console, it features
a display and keypad. However, the
handset cannot be used for Bluetooth
®
links established using the Handsfree
Profile (HFP).
Optional for all Macan models.
